The inmates have been let loose!

[Peter Haworth]

I agree on the whole issue of Apple backing people into corners on how they
want us to use our computers.  One poijnt though in this case. I believe
the article mentioned a way of disabling this "feature" entirely if you
never want to use iCloud.

Who knows, maybe the upcoming decision on Apple and Samsung's little love
spat will change things forever!
